This article shows you how to install Apache and PHP and MySQL CentOS 7. The default CentOS 7 image does not have access to repositories that support PHP version 5.6 and higher, so we need to enable a repository that does. The advantages of using yum to perform the installation (instead of the source code) is that yum also automatically installs future security updates and handles dependencies.
Install Apache
yum install httpd
systemctl start httpd
systemctl enable httpd.service
firewall-cmd --add-service=http --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload
Install PHP 7.3
yum install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
yum-config-manager --enable remi-php73
yum install php php-mcrypt php-cli php-gd php-curl php-mysql php-ldap php-zip php-fileinfo
php -v
Install MySQL
wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql57-community-release-el7-9.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh mysql57-community-release-el7-9.noarch.rpm
yum install mysql-server
service mysqld start
grep "A temporary password" /var/log/mysqld.log
*** [Note] A temporary password is generated for root@localhost: hjkygMukj5+t783
mysql_secure_installation
*** Follow prompts, answer Y to all
service mysqld restart
chkconfig mysqld on
mysql -u root -p
Change SSH Port from Default
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
*** The Port line should be in the first page of the file, as either Port 22 or commented out as #Port 22. Go to the line. Press Insert to enter edit mode. Remove the # if present and change the port number to the required value. Press the Esc key to return to command mode and enter :wq to write out the file and quit vi.
yum -y install policycoreutils-python
semanage port -a -t ssh_port_t -p tcp 2132
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=2132/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload
systemctl restart sshd.service
That’s all, Enjoy 🙂
